Mauricio Pochettino is calling on his Spurs players to keep their cool when they try to halt Chelsea’s 13-match winning streak.

The Blues made no bones last season about their determination to end their London rivals’ title challenge at Stamford Bridge.

The Tottenham players were weeping in the away dressing room after an explosive draw in a May match they had led 2-0 confirmed Leicester as champions.

Wednesday night’s White Hart Lane showdown presents Pochettino’s men – scorers of eight goals in their last two games – with the chance to gain a measure of revenge by denying Chelsea a record 14th successive league victory.

But the Spurs boss said: “That chapter is closed. I don’t feel the same. We will use the opportunity. If we need to blame someone, we need to blame ourselves.

“We are the guilty ones that we did not achieve the Premier League [title] last season for different reasons. It is true in our head it is to win and to get three points and close the gap — but not revenge for last season.”

The Argentinian instead wants his players to reproduce the blistering form that saw them demolish Chelsea 5-3 at White Hart Lane two years ago this week.

He added: “Two years ago, the team started to show what we really wanted to introduce and settle on.

“I think always Chelsea and Arsenal are our enemies and it is true that, for our fans, this is a very special game. But, like a professional, the most important thing is to get three points.

“We need to, because we want to fight for the top four or to win the league this season and so to reduce the gap is key for us.”

They have won only four of 49 league matches against Chelsea – drawing 19 – but all four of those victories have been at the Lane.

The Blues, 2-1 winners when the sides met at Stamford Bridge in November, have left Tottenham with three points after only one of their last 10 league visits.

Pochettino, whose men are 10 points behind the league leaders at kickoff, believes Spurs' fans can give Chelsea a white-hot reception.

He said: “It is an important gap that they have, but we believe that at White Hart Lane with our fans it will be a fantastic atmosphere and we are confident we can win.

“We are ambitious.

"We know Chelsea have very good players and are playing with a lot of confidence. But you know that it is always tough to play at White Hart Lane and we will arrive in very good condition to challenge them.

“If we review the game in November we deserved more at Stamford Bridge – the way that we played, we dominated the game. We created more chances than them, but you always need to be more clinical.

"We are now in that moment in the last few games that we scored a lot of goals.

“When you play a big team like Chelsea you need to be clinical when you create chances.
